I've been building this 1946 Ford 1 Ton for a while and figure it's time to share.
It is Powered by a LD28 with a 5 speed manual.
I flipped the frame to lower it a lot.
I still need;
Brakes
Steering
Seats
Floor
Controls lights. Let me know what you think.

It's wild to look at my last posts and see how far i've come on the truck.
Here is how it sits now. Drive-able, but needs some minor suspension tweaks.
Runs great, other than a starvation for fuel once and a while.. Thoughts?
let me know what you guys think!

Looks good. And, with all that black smoke it can produce even better.
Fuel starvation ,,,,,, usual suspects......plugged filter, sucking air someplace .
